Kansas is a state that went so hard republican, their budget collapsed and they couldn't afford road maintenance. They've corrected for this by going super hard republican again, but this time against queer people. Brilliant minds over there.
So they want F2M trans in women bathrooms, right?
No, they don't want trans people in any bathroom.
Yes, they want trans people to feel like they can't use the bathroom anywhere, correct
F2M trans after surgery = man with a dick.
Ergo, they want men with dicks in women bathrooms.
Yes, a person who looks like a man will get the cops called on them/assaulted if they attempt to enter the women's restroom. They want to force trans people into bathrooms where they don't conform so they no longer feel safe in public. It isn't some gotcha, the cruelty is the point. They want trans people to go back into the closet or to leave their state.
God damn these people just can’t get over it can they? This “debate” has been going on for like, 10+ years no?
Every home in America already has a gender neutral bathroom.
I've been to restaurants with gender neutral bathrooms and they're great. One that stood out was basically just a hallway of stalls (with actual doors, which was nice) and a few sinks out in front.
Wait until they get on a plane!
Traditional American homes are woke. Got it.
These people are the biggest idiots.
Testing the waters to make sweeping changes in the future.
ALMOST always use it as a distraction for another bill they will sweep immediately, while the people/Ds are distracted by the first bill. they did this during trump where they had the tax cut right after using the net neutrality bs as a distraciton, everyone was exhausted and dint put up resistance.
Well, yeah... Trump was yapping on Twitter 24/7. The news had to report his ramblings, and the majority of people were still using that same platform. Once Elon threw a wrench into Twitter (and others followed suit), everyone finally woke people up when they discovered the Fediverse and later Bluesky. That's why the resistance is a lot more durable now. Elon's plan backfired.
